"A hotel made for indulgence, with a 2-star Michelin restaurant, boutique-beautiful bedrooms and an Elemis spa"
Now let's look at the positives. An elegant, friendly restaurant with 2 Michelin stars and a sublime menu. Fifteen beautiful bedrooms, with hydro-massage baths, Hermès toiletries and amazing beds. An Elemis spa you can hire exclusively, with underwater loungers and a thermal circuit. Lovely staff, who are incredibly helpful and keen for you to experience the Barcelona they love. And last, but not least, a wonderful restoration of a historical 19th-century building that was once the cultural hub of the city, combined with a stunning wooden-and-glass extension and hip, modern décor. As Mary Poppins would say, practically perfect in every way.
- Walking through the open kitchen to see the chefs at work, creating pure culinary magic
- World-class, incredible food: think pumpkin and citronella cream with roast scallops and leeks, then Belgian Ale: chocolate, coffee butter, toffee, cacao beans and black olives. Be sure to book a table when you reserve a room
- Pristine bedrooms with black-out blinds, sound-proofing and Treca de Paris mattresses on the bed; you will sleep amazingly well
- Popping into town for a quick Gaudí fix, then returning to the peace of suburbia
- An uber-cool cocktail bar and lounge, plus over 1,000 choices of wine
- It's set on a busy road - see above
- It's expensive - see above
- It's a little out of the city - see above
- Breakfast isn't included in the rates
- No twin beds, or extra beds for children. This is very much a couples' escape

Our top tips
- Boutique Hotel
- 15
- Restaurant and bar (open Tuesday-Saturday)
- Allowed, but best for little ones
- Open all year
- Pool
- Spa
- WiFi
- Pet Friendly
- Disabled Access
- Beach Nearby
- Off-street Parking
- Restaurants Nearby
- Air Conditioning
- Guest Lounge

- Concierge Service
- Jacuzzi
The best thing about ABaC's rooms is their high quality and thoughtful detail - in particular, the amazing sound-proofing, black-out blinds and Treca de Paris matresses, which ensure a blissful night's sleep. The second-best thing is that all rooms have the same amenities; the only difference is space and the addition of a terrace to some rooms.
So the smallest Deluxe still has a hydro-massage tub (with coloured lights, so the water goes from blue to green to red!), a walk-in rain shower, an abundance of Hermès toiletries, super-thick towelling robes, a Nespresso machine, and a massive Bang & Olufsen TV (perhaps too big). We slept in this room: bathing was a joy, sleeping was a delight, and we happily lounged.
Our favourite room was the Superior. Inside, it's much like a Deluxe, though slightly bigger. But outside it has a beautiful terrace with teak flooring, a bed of lavender and 2 loungers for sun soaking.
Privilege rooms are the same price as the Superior, but instead of a terrace they have more indoor floor space and views of the garden. Suites have a separate living area with a big sofa (smaller rooms have armchairs or chaise longues) and an iPad. Gadget lovers will enjoy the remote-controlled lighting and blinds in all rooms. Minibars are equally high-class, with Grey Goose vodka, Billecart Champagne and unusual fruit juices.
If you're here for a special occasion, it's definitely worth splurging on the Penthouse. The bathroom is huge and square, with a double vanity in the centre, and you get loads of room in the bedroom/living area. Outside, the balcony has a table and chairs for private dining plus loungers and an outdoor Jacuzzi.
Décor throughout is crisp, clean and tasteful: bright white linens, exotic wood flooring, taupe sofas, and colour from rose-pink velvet cushions, art and pink orchids. Nothing is overdone, nothing is garish. These are spaces made for unwinding.
Features include:
- Air conditioning
- Bathrobes
- Central heating
- Cots Available
- DVD player (on request)
- Hairdryer
- Iron (on request)
- Jacuzzi
- Minibar/fridge
- Phone
- Safe box
- Satellite TV
- Terrace
- Toiletries
- WiFi
With 2 Michelin stars, ABaC's food speaks for itself. The restaurant, open Tuesday-Saturday, is headed up by Jordi Cruz, who was Spain's youngest chef to receive a Michelin star (he was 25 at the time).
The sophisticated dining room is elegant but not forbiddingly formal, with white, precisely ironed tablecloths, beautiful arc lamps and floor-to-ceiling windows. Tables are well spaced and the atmosphere is calm. In summer, you can eat out on the terrace.
As you'd expect, flavours and combinations are gloriously inventive, and presentation is immaculate. Imagine sweet and salt oyster tartar with sorrel, coriander and marine sprouts for a starter, or casarecce pasta with sea cucumbers, Comté cheese and lemon basil. Seafood is a highlight (perhaps tuna belly with ponzu sauce, kumquat skin, crispy artichokes and spicy roots purée), as are the unusual meat dishes (baby goat shoulder with green cider foam is popular).
As for puddings, they couldn't sound more delicious: pickled lemon with yoghurt snow, flower nectar and violet ice cream, or caramelised honey brioche with Mato, toffee, roasted pine nuts and Idiazabal cheese. The accompanying wine list has over 1,000 choices. In truth, every meal is a tasting menu, but the formal Tasting Menu and Grand Tasting Menu offer good value for money and endless courses. If you're feeling anti-social, order room service, which has the likes of roast guinea fowl, caviar and oysters.
Before or after dinner, go for a cocktail in the uber-cool ABaC Lounge. It's a discreet subterranean space, with clusters of Chesterfield sofas and armchairs, delineated by coloured lights.
Breakfast is a treat, too. You're given fruit salad with mint ice cream (so decadent to start the day with ice cream!), a basket of buttery pastries, a bocadillo of flavoursome Iberian ham and cheese, and then asked about your cooked preference. We went for scrambled eggs, and they were exceptional, served with chives and traditional pan con tomate.
There are other good restaurants close by too, including Casa Pepe for tapas; reception can advise.
Features include:
- Bar
- Minibar/fridge
- Restaurant
- Restaurants nearby
- Room service
- Vegetarian menu
- Unwind in the Elemis spa, with its thermal circuit, hammam and wonderful-sounding treatments, such as the exotic lime and ginger salt glow with a deep-tissue back massage
- Barcelona's Botanical Gardens back onto the hotel, and Gaudí's Park Güell is close: a municipal garden with beautiful structures designed by the famous architect, including his famous salamander, his house, and various mosaics
- Take the Tram Blau (a 19th-century wooden tram) up the hill of Tibidabo for wonderful views over Barcelona, especially at sunset
- The cultural highlights of the city never fail to thrill, even if you've seen them before. We love the Sagrada Familia, the cathedral and the Barri Gòtic. Reception can arrange bike hire if you want to cycle around
- If you're into art, the Picasso and Miró museums are excellent, as is the Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), which specialises in Spanish and Catalan art
- Head to the beach for the day; temperatures are lovely for most of the year. Or play golf; there are courses close by
Activities on site or nearby include:
- Cycling
- Golf
- Historical sites
- Museums / galleries
- Nightlife
- Plantlife / flora
- Shopping / markets
- Swimming
Children are welcome but the hotel doesn't have any extra beds, so you'd need to get an extra room for children older than 3. Little ones aged 0-3 stay for free in their parents' room, and the hotel can provide a baby cot.
Best for:
Babies (0-1 years), Toddlers (1-4 years)
Family friendly accommodation:
Ask about connecting rooms; there are a couple (referred to by the hotel as Grand Suite and ABaC Suite). Bear in mind all beds are doubles.
Reception can book nannies.

I've been lurking in the Classified section for awhile & am pretty familiar with these cars, as I had some friends who's parents bought them new back in high school. With the exception of an aftermarket mp3 player, it's completely stock (including factory exhaust with FoMoCo stampings on the mufflers!) & has 92,345 miles. It came with all the maintenance documentation & the original window sticker. I paid $3,500 which included a set of new-in-the-box 16x7 aftermarket rims with the 5x108 bolt pattern.

Bailey caravan and motorhome ranges top Caravan Times 2013 Reader's Polls
Bailey leisure vehicles have won both the Caravan of the Year & the Motorhome of the Year Awards in the nationwide poll run by Caravan Times.
Caravan Times is the UK's largest online magazine for caravan and motorhome enthusiasts and every year they invite their readers to choose their favourite caravan and, for the first time in 2013, their favourite motorhome in a public vote.
On this occasion it was the Bailey Pegasus GT65 caravan range and the Bailey Approach Autograph motorhome range that beat off stiff competition from other industry rivals to run out winners, claiming 28% and 37% of the votes in their respective polls.
To complete an excellent all-round showing for Bailey in this year's competition, the current Unicorn range also claimed the Luxury Caravan of the Year title (with 33% of the vote), the ever-popular Pageant range picked up the Pre-Owned Caravan of the Year prize (with 40% of the vote) and the new Pursuit range was runner-up in the Lightweight Caravan of the Year category.

Commenting on the results Bailey Managing Director Nick Howard said: "to receive such a genuine seal of approval for our products from the wider community is very encouraging and bears testament to the amount of time we have taken to listen to what people really want to see in a new caravan or motorhome".
Congratulations should also be given to the top five performing retailers, headed by Reads World of Leisure (Blackburn), in the on-line survey all of which are Approved Bailey agents.

Halloween, one of the most anticipated holidays, is here. Also known by names such a 'Allhalloween', 'All Hallows' Eve' or 'All Saints' Eve', the celebration is held by a number of countries every year on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian fete of All Hallow's Day or All Saints' Day.
Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or guising), attending costume parties and wearing scary or weird dresses, making jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, divination, apple bobbing, visiting haunted house attractions among many others.

Dominique is a producer/singer/songwriter hailing from New York and, if new single "Good Girl" is anything to go by, is someone worth getting excited about. Written and produced by Dominque, "Good Girl" is an achingly sophisticated track about the struggle to escape conservative values. It's refreshing to hear pop lyrics about confusion; the genre often deals with emotional extremes and struggles to articulate life's grey areas.
You can expect to hear more new music from Dominque this summer.

Lamentation For The Dead
We picture ourselves in a field. It is barren, yet beautiful. An aching wells up from within us, which we cannot describe.
We are standing in the center of a vast expanse, surrounded by a forest of pain. The trees are alive, yet dead. They haunt us in their bold, inexplicable silence.
We are alone, yet we feel their presence. We are aware they are no longer with us, yet we cannot purge them from our memory.
And we would never want to.
You were here. You caressed us, fed us, sheltered us. You provided a refuge of grace, an offering of forgiveness.
You assured us in our impermanence. You brought a light to the fore. You tamed the horrors of our minds. You enlightened what had laid dormant inside of us.
We detest what has occurred. We lament for them. We plea for reunion.
She was at our side. Her touch awakened us. Her eyes transfixed us.
She was not the only one. There were so many.
We are now pilgrims. We wander the alleys of despair, feeling a supreme desire to join them.
Though our calling is not diminished. The pain attempts to conceal it, but it cannot.
We enter a state of cognitive dissonance. Our senses become heightened. We ache for them to be returned to us.
How do we carry on when our knowledge of their absence has scourged the essence of our souls?
A chasm of loss exists that is so vast it can never be filled with anything but sorrow and love. This seems to be contradictory, yet it is not.
It is the way of grieving. It is the path to bearing witness.
Who do we trust now?
We want to trust ourselves, but pieces our beings have been severed. Perhaps we can trust you, yet we cannot be certain. Nor will we ever be. In some moments, we feel you have abandoned us; your abandonment was evident in their passing.
They are no more. Spirits of love that haunt us in perpetuity.
At the same time, you acknowledged our grief, you offered yourself to us, you sheltered us, amidst the greatest darkness we have ever encountered. You took us by the hand and raised us above the horizon, to the white shores of home.
Home. The place we must return to, without them. They cannot come. Not yet.
We must move forward, involuntary pilgrims in a sea of tears.
In our encounters with others, we feel like aliens. Part of us has been amputated.
We are offered a platitude. We respond with aggression.
We are offered a truism. We respond with indifference.
We are offered a smile. We respond with horror.
They do not understand. But, alas, neither do we.
We are just as foolish as they are.
Thus we beg you, come with us, our God, if you are here.
Don't be there. Be here.
Fill us with graciousness. Allow our empathy to tear through the walls of shame that have afflicted us with impunity.
Carry us to safety. Provide shelter such that we may engender cracks of love in our loneliness.
Lead us to those who need us.
Provide solace for those who have been taken from us. They will never cease to pierce the depths of every being they moved during their lives.
Shine a light of your majesty upon them.
Envelop them in your adoration. Cleanse them of their pains. And bring them home.
They are not mere memories.
Life is not an illusion. It is the greatest reality of all.
Never allow us to forget.
They were real.

Jeremy Corbyn's £3million state-funded salary and pension revealed
Jeremy Corbyn has made more than £3million from the state in the past 30 years, according to official records.
The Labour leader has made more than £1.5million in salary as an MP and will benefit from a generous £1.6million pension when he retires.
That was the headline and first two paragraphs in the Telegraph today. "In the past 30 years"; I don't think I've ever read anything more ludicrous or biased.
Highlighting Western Victims While Ignoring Victims of Western Violence
You'll almost never hear any of those victims' names on CNN, NPR, or most other large U.S. media outlets. No famous American TV correspondents will be sent to the places where those people have their lives ended by the bombs of the U.S. and its allies. At most, you'll hear small, clinical news stories briefly and coldly describing what happened — usually accompanied by a justifying claim from U.S. officials, uncritically conveyed, about why the bombing was noble — but, even in those rare cases where such attacks are covered at all, everything will be avoided that would cause you to have any visceral or emotional connection to the victims. You'll never know anything about them — not even their names, let alone hear about their extinguished life aspirations or hear from their grieving survivors — and will therefore have no ability to feel anything for them. As a result, their existence will barely register.
That's by design. It's because U.S. media outlets love to dramatize and endlessly highlight Western victims of violence, while rendering almost completely invisible the victims of their own side's violence.
Perhaps you think there are good — or at least understandable — reasons to explain this discrepancy in coverage. Maybe you believe humans naturally pay more attention to, and empathize more with, the suffering of those they regard as more similar to them. Or you may want to argue that victims in cities commonly visited by American elites (Paris, Brussels, London, Madrid) are somehow more newsworthy than those in places rarely visited (Mastaba, in Yemen's northern province of Hajjah). Or perhaps you're sympathetic to the claim that it's easier for CNN or NBC News to send on-air correspondents to glittery Western European capitals than to Waziristan or Kunduz. Undoubtedly, many believe that the West's violence is morally superior because it only kills civilians by accident and not on purpose.
But regardless of the rationale for this media discrepancy, the distortive impact is the same: By endlessly focusing on and dramatizing Western victims of violence while ignoring the victims of the West's own violence, the impression is continually bolstered that only They, but not We, engage in violence that kills innocent people. We are always the victims and never the perpetrators (and thus Good and Blameless); They are only the perpetrators and never the victims (and thus Villainous and Culpable).
Phone hacking: Met had the evidence. How will it explain five years of failure?
Over the two-year timeframe, Yates repeated his misleading version of events to two Commons select committees and visited the Guardian to complain to the editor, Alan Rusbridger, about the paper's coverage. Later, he threatened to sue the Guardian for publishing claims that he had misled parliament. Yates and Hayman specifically denied that Prescott had been a victim even though Caryatid in August 2006 had found evidence Mulcaire had been intercepting his voicemail from the phone of his special adviser, Joan Hammell.
The home affairs select committee criticised Hayman for his "cavalier attitude" towards his social contact with News International staff being investigated by his detectives and suggested this had "risked seriously undermining confidence in the impartiality of the police". They also accused him of "deliberate prevarication in order to mislead the committee".
Leveson found that Yates had adopted an "inappropriately dismissive and close-minded attitude" to the scandal and had been dogmatic and defensive in his comments.
Neither the select committee nor Leveson concluded Hayman, Yates or anybody else at Scotland Yard had let their judgment be influenced by contact with or fear of News International. Leveson concluded that although there had been "a series of poor decisions, poorly executed", there was no evidence to challenge the integrity of the senior police officers concerned.
On the specific questions raised by the new information from the Old Bailey trial, there is no evidence at all – no phone records, no diaries, no internal memos, no expenses records, no interviews with the key players – because Scotland Yard has failed to commission the inquiry which might have found it. The questions hang there, looking for an answer.
'Carry On policing'
A detective investigating phone hacking has been asked in court if police had conducted a "Carry On"-style search of Rebekah Brooks's office on the day she resigned as News International chief executive.
Officers from the Metropolitan police's Operation Weeting seized computers and other IT material from her office but did not search the cabinets in the area outside it where her secretaries kept her business and personal records.
Detective Constable Alan Pritchard told the court that officers had been confined in their search because of a prior arrangement with News International executive Simon Greenberg, a former head of communications and one of the members of the management standards committee.
"Mrs Brooks is removed, almost marched out of the building. This stuff is there when you arrive later that evening and not a bit of it recovered by the police?" Laidlaw said to Pritchard.
Pritchard replied that he was had no instruction to search the PAs' files. "The area we had consent to search was her office and that was what the search was confined to." He said he was not included in the arrangements made prior to the search and the correct person to question would be the head of Operation Weeting, Detective Superintendent Mark Ponting.
Asked by the prosecution who had made this arrangement with police, Pritchard replied: "Simon Greenberg".
News International restricted the search area and, as a result, nothing was found.
Media failure on Iraq War repeated in climate change coverage
The media failed to accurately report facts prior to the Iraq War; climate reporting is failing in similar fashion.

A great list from Daily Kos.
Phone-hacking trial told of Brooks and Coulson's 'six-year affair'
The Guardian:
The prosecution in the phone-hacking trial lobbed an emotional bombshell into the case by stating that Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson had a secret extra-marital affair between 1998 and 2004, whose existence had been revealed in a highly charged note that the crown argued implied an intense bond between the two.
Andrew Edis QC said that the jury needed to know about the clandestine relationship because the two former editors face charges of conspiracy to hack phones. "The first question, therefore, is how well did they know each other? How much did they trust each other? The fact that they were in this relationship, which was a secret, means that they trusted each other quite a lot with at least that secret. That's why we are telling you about it," the prosecuting QC said.
At that time, Coulson had been married to his wife Eloise Patrick since 2000, and Brooks had been married to the TV actor Ross Kemp since 2002. Brooks was editor of the Sun, and Coulson was editor of the News of the World; previously Coulson had been her deputy at the News of the World, when she edited the Sunday tabloid between 2000 and 2003.
Coulson's vetting when he worked for Cameron would have uncovered this, so we can assume Cameron knew.
Four admit to plots in Brooks and Coulson eras
Three former news editors from the News of the World have pleaded guilty to conspiracy to hack mobile phones during a six-year period when Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson were editing the Sunday title, it was disclosed in court.
The two high-flying tabloid journalists were accused of knowing about voicemail interception at the newspaper, of plotting to pay money to corrupt public officials – and, in the case of Brooks, participating in "a cover-up" when concerns about hacking became public in 2011.
Opening the Old Bailey trial of Brooks, Coulson and six others, crown counsel Andrew Edis QC said the guilty pleas meant that the original claim made by the tabloid's publisher, News International, that the hacking was the work of just one reporter, Clive Goodman, was demonstrably incorrect.
The three former News of the World news editors who had pleaded guilty to the interception of voicemails were Greg Miskiw, Neville Thurlbeck and James Weatherup. Edis told the jury that the paper's specialist hacker, Glenn Mulcaire, had separately admitted intercepting the messages of the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
And so it begins.
Freedom: The Guardian and Fleet street
As PressGazette notes, Fleet Street rivals may not like The Guardian, but they should care about attacks on individual and press freedom.
News International investigated as a "corporate suspect"
The Independent has learnt the Metropolitan Police has opened an "active investigation" into the corporate liabilities of the UK newspaper group – recently rebranded News UK – which could have serious implications for the ability of its parent company News Corp to operate in the United States. One of Rupert Murdoch's most senior lawyers has been interviewed under caution on behalf of the company and two other very senior figures have been officially cautioned for corporate offences. John Turnbull, who works on News Corp's Management and Standards Committee (MSC) which co-ordinates the company's interactions with the Metropolitan Police, answered formal questions from detectives earlier this year.
The development has caused pandemonium at the upper echelons of the Murdoch media empire. Shortly afterwards, executives in America ordered that the company dramatically scale back its co-operation with the Metropolitan Police.
Finally, the really serious stuff. Not just journalists but the corporate entity, with all the ramifications for US broadcasting licenses.

Severn Run Environmental Area Trail is a 1.3 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Millersville, Maryland that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

Thorn City, USA
Understand it's nature, but the pics are deceiving. Thought this would be an enjoyable walk with the dogs. it turned out to be way too overgrown! Got to one point not far out and couldn't see the trail any longer. Shouldn't have to try to maneuver through so much brush and briers. Got lots of ticks on this trip! Very disappointing. If DNR would just clear the path a little more - machete, weed eater, etc - it would be a treasure! Disappointed to say the least.
We stayed close to the area we parked, but the trail quickly dead ended. If we had been more prepared we could've gotten wet and explored more, but mostly went there to see a different area and fish a little. Area we were in was too overgrown to relax in because of ticks jumping everywhere and no fish. We left and went to another preferred spot.
many reviews online say over grown, I disagree in the sense that this isnt a traditional state park. The trails are mostly a combination of deer/animak trails & fisherman. No upkeep from DNR. Its a very real wooded area. youre wandering in 1000+ acres of mostly undistribed woods so thorn bushes and such are normal.
a walking stick for pushing aside brush is a great thing to have.
no hunting is allowed but it does happen. DNR is aware and is working inconjuction with people like myself to track these people down. its a park where people hike, fish, take their kids & dogs. shouldnt need to worry about a stray bullet hitting you.
not taken care of and absolutely no trail. Got turned around and ended up in private hunting grounds. lol.
A lot of reviews on different trails claim that they are overgrown when they aren't in my opinion, (unless I just regularly happen to show up the day after trail maintenance crews go through); but this one really is overgrown and also full of trash. I would NOT recommend it.
This is not a nature trail. This is walking through acres and acres of woods, not paths. Some places are so thick and overgrown that you could not get through without a machete, so you have to wander a bit - but this is what makes it enjoyable. It is nature as it is meant to be! It's fun to walk along the shoreline and there are places next to the water that are small sandy beaches and the water is very clear. It's fun to check out the animal tracks to see what has been down to the water. The deepest water I came across was about 3 feet in spots that the dogs enjoyed swimming in (the bottom was sandy). Pick a nice place to relax and if you are quiet and stay for a while you may see deer. There are many species of birds and I spotted raccoon and various bird tracks. In some parts there are also some feral cats living in colonies that buttress some of the businesses. If you like to be away from it all, and in seclusion, this spot is a gem! Will try fishing this spring and summer (lots of ticks in warm weather). Bring along a trash bag since some people evidently don't appreciate nature and leave their trash behind. Looking forward to the next excursion.
(There ARE "no hunting" signs along the perimeter of the land - so no hunting and there should not be any hunting blinds.)
I chose Nature Trips because there are no real paths. It's untouched.
A shame. This could be a nice short hike location, but there's clearly no upkeep or maintenance.
Continuing my quest to find some trail-running spots close to home, I went to check out this area this morning. Easy to find start - just park in the gravel spot just after you cross the bridge over Severn Run itself. Parking for about 3 cars - I doubt you'll ever have competition. Just back-track over the bridge and you'll see the gate to your left.
Less then a half mile in, the trail surrendered to overgrowth and became less distinct when you reach Severn Run. There are a few unclear paths through here, but they are difficult to discern. Suffice to say, it's easy to tell where people stop and turn around. I'm seriously tempted to rent a brush-cutter to go through and cut a trail.
I'll probably try exploring other starting locations to see if there are more established trails - though it seems unlikely from my research so far. It's a shame, because wildlife abounds in this area for sure. The area is very convenient to get to and has incredible solitude considering you can hear I97 howling by.
I love that people don't really know about this area, it was evident in the lack of trash. I was also using the 60 hikes of Baltimore book. I found a little place to park, not much room for more than two cars. I easily found the start of the trail and going out it wasn't so bad. The trails are not blazed at all. On the way back I ended up straying off the trail I had followed out. I had to bush wack back to my car. It was more annoying then anything since the area I was in was surrounded on all sides I knew I wasn't going to actually get lost. I walked out to the overgrown jeep roads mentioned in the book, which I am 99 percent sure are in the environmental area and found 3 or 4 hunting blinds in the trees, just a heads up for anyone going in the fall not expecting hunting to be happening (I didn't as the signs said no hunting.)
Unmarked, short, uninteresting, no parking. Not so much a trail as a place in the woods where teenagers go to get high and neck.
The natural setting of this trail and the peace and solitude that it provides are amazing. We found is there was all kinds of birds and deer in this kind of tranquil setting that is just so peaceful.
I did this trail because I am working my way through the 60 hikes in 60 miles of Baltimore which I have quoted below. As much as I like this book and think the author is probably a really neat guy, I did not like this hike very much and had trouble finding the trail that was advertised in the book.
The good: 10 mins from a major airport (reason I did it) and very secluded and undisturbed. Saw tons of deers, seemed like there was a lot of birds as well.
The bad: I could not complete the loop as mentioned in the book and ended up off trail. How could this happen you ask? The trail is poorly maintained and hard to follow in the summer. At the top of the loop when you are on the jeep trail, you are supposed to be able follow a loop back to the main path. However that part of the trail has a lot of evidence of humans as it is near a business park and there were several things that seemed like they could be a path (a path to a telecomm tower, paths to man-made holes and pipes of which the purpose of is unclear, etc). I started on several false paths including one which I took for a while. I tried to cut back to the path, but that was a dumb idea as I was still far away at that point. I should have just turned around at the top. Anyway if you are like me and using that book, this one is missable unless of course you like tics and spider webs and hard to find paths.
"Make your way around a little-known and underappreciated spot of beauty tucked between major highways. Even residents of the immediate area might not know of Severn Run Natural Environmental Areas existence, though they have no doubt driven right past it innumerous times. Thats because it straddles I-97, Veterans Highway, and other major roads. Its 1,600 acres follow the course of the protected Severn Run in six separate and not always connected tracts. Severn Run has no infrastructure, which might account for its relative lack of use."

Copacabana, Day 1
So, remember our plan to go visit the Amazon? Hang around in the jungle, see some pink dolphins, drink some tropical cocktails in a hammock?
Yeah, it didn't happen.
It very nearly did, though! We got up early and made our way to the airport in La Paz. We got as far as being on the plane, even. The place we were originally heading is called Rurrenabaque. It's a tad touristy but it wasn't cold and rainy, which was the main draw. Plus... pink dolphins. I mean, c'mon. Anyway, turns out the pilots didn't like the sound of one of the engines. I didn't like the look, myself.
So we sat there in the plane for a little bit while the ground crew came in and out. Eventually, we were told we'd have to get back off the plane, go back into the terminal (we had to walk across the tarmac; little planes like that don't have skyways). They said they'd have to fix something and we'd be on our way. Mind you, this same little plane goes back and forth from Rurrenabaque six or seven times a day. That's literally all it does. And the plane had just arrived. We were the lucky ones to be getting on when they found the problem, I suppose.
This was at 8am when we sat back down inside at the gate. The little screen above the doors showed our flight was delayed until 9am. At 9am, it showed it was delayed until 10am. The flight that was supposed to leave at 10am was now leaving at 1pm. Then our flight got delayed again. And then again. And then, a flight that was supposed to leave well after ours was scheduled to leave before us. It was lunchtime by then and the rest of the family was supposed to be at the airport as they were scheduled to come on a later flight (while Adri and I would go earlier; not enough seats together on a single flight for all of us to go at once). It became painfully clear at that point that we were not going to make it to Rurrenabaque at all that day, and if we waited until the next day it would leave our little vacation rather short and uneventful. So we scrapped that idea and decided to drive to Copacabana, instead.
Talk about a great decision. Wow.
I'm splitting up this portion of story about our trip to Copacabana into two, maybe three different posts for a couple reasons: 1) I took something like 1000 photos over the couple days, 2) the places we went and things we did are so drastically different that they deserve different posts, and 3) the posts would be waaaay too long.
When we finally got to Copacabana we were exhausted. It had been a terribly long day, between getting up early to get to the airport, the frustration of the flights being delayed and cancelled, and then the roadtrip to get there, that all we wanted to do was find a place to stay (and no, we didn't have a reservation before we got there; we just drove, parked, and walked until we found a hotel) and grab a bite to eat. So, needless to say, this day of the trip has very little in the way of visuals. The following two days make up for it, I promise.
Apparently, there's a bit of a tradition in the family that whenever they arrive in Copacabana they always go to the same little restaurant. So, guess what we did! Yup, we went immediately to La Puerta del Sol (aka The Gate of the Sun). They serve almost exclusively the trout the catch in Lake Titicaca (pictures and video of that to come shortly) in a variety of ways.
Now, if you know me at all, you'll know that I like my food a bit on the spicy side. You'll also know that my Spanish is not great. However, when I saw trucha à la diabla, I was sold.
It was delicious, but it wasn't nearly as spicy as its name would imply. Still, very tasty. At this point I was still kind of suffering from Traveler's Tummy and I'm sure that something this spicy was definitely ill-advised, but... c'mon. Look at it. How can you pass that up?
The rest of the day involved wandering around the markets, heading down to the beach for a look-see, and figuring out what to do for the rest of our time there. The verdict: take a boat to the Isla del Sol and hike through some Incan ruins.
Needless to say, I was very excited for that. I fancied myself an Indiana Jones type. The reality was a tad different, but, the view...
Well, that will have to wait until the next post.

It's been nearly one week since the all-new 2018 Ford Mustang was revealed–and like many other Blue Oval fans, we can't wait to see what's in store for the latest generation pony car to come. With the integration of modern technology, like Ford's existing MagneRide damping system found on the Shelby GT350 models, and the all-new available Active Valve Performance Exhaust; the latest Mustang to come is really starting to take on a whole-new personality for 2018.
Speaking of that active exhaust system (which is no-longer exclusive to the Shelby), the 2018 Mustang features a redesigned rear which incorporates a pair of quad-style exhaust tips to compliment the look (and sound) of the Mustang GT model.
Where the Shelby GT350 and the '18 Mustang GT differ in active exhaust technology however, is the integration of customization. The Mustang GT's active exhaust system allows the end-user to customize an exhaust tone that will match the entire acceleration range; and Ford says that enthusiasts can even store their custom setting in the new "MyMode" with the use of the memory function.
If you ask us, it's great to see technology from the more rare (and more powerful) Shelby GT350 Mustang begin to trickle down into the GT models. These models are far more affordable, making them easier to obtain if you've got the coin.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Fluminense won 2-1 away to Criciúma last night in the 2013 Campeonato Brasileiro to stretch their unbeaten run to five games. The three points took them into the top half of the table for the first time under coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo. There were also defeats for Vasco and Botafogo yesterday.
Two goals from Bruno gave Fluminense the points against Criciúma in a 2-1 win. The side came from behind to finally put some breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone.
Flu started the game terribly and deservedly fell behind on 38 minutes. The defense failed to deal with a cross and Lins steered the ball home via a deflection off Anderson.
Before going ahead, Criciúma had already had a goal disallowed and missed a penalty. As half-time neared, things were looking shaky for the Rio club.
Nevertheless, just before the end of the opening 45 minutes the Tricolor leveled through Bruno, the full-back converting Carlinhos' cross. Upon the return for the second half, it was Fluminense who seized the initiative, buoyed by that late first-half strike.
Twenty minutes from time, they struck the winner. Rafael Sóbis unleashed a venomous shot from the left, which smashed against the cross bar and Bruno headed in the rebound for his second of the night.
Vasco slipped further into trouble after a 2-1 defeat against Vitória at São Januário stadium in Rio. The Cariocas had taken the lead early through André, but two goals in the last ten minutes from the visitors condemned Vasco to their fourth straight defeat and had fans calling for coach Doríval Junior's dismissal.
The title chase for Botafogo was left in pieces last night after losing 3-0 to Cruzeiro at the Mineirão in Belo Horizonte. Nílton gave the home side the lead on the stroke of half-time after a tense first half.
Early in the second, Seedorf had the perfect opportunity to level from the penalty spot but sent his effort wide. Júlio Baptista scored twice in the last nine minutes to wrap up Cruzeiro's eighth successive Brasileirão win.

ACHM Hyperbaric Certification Exam Update
The ACHM will administer the Hyperbaric Certification Exam on Sunday, April 5th, 2009 at the conclusion of the APWCA/ACHM National Clinical Conference in Philadelphia. Please visit our website to register.
The ACHM will administer the Hyperbaric Certification Exam on Sunday, April 5th, 2009 at the conclusion of the APWCA/ACHM National Clinical Conference in Philadelphia. Please visit our website to register.
The ACHM endorses a physician specific wound care certification process. Dr. Bartlett and Dr. Niezgoda co-chaired a committee to create this comprehensive examination. The American Professional Wound Care Association also recognizes this as the physician certification process. This examination was developed after leadership of the ACHM and APWCA identified that hospital administrators and physicians alike were looking for physician specific certification. This is the first step in attempting to obtain wound care recognition as a subspecialty in medicine. The exam is administered by the Council for Medical Education and Testing (CMET). Physicians who successfully pass this examination are recognized and provided with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Wound Care. We encourage all physicians to sit for the certification process so that we can demonstrate interest that exists for specialty recognition.
The next CMET Examination will be offered on Sunday, April 5th, 2009 from 8:30am – 1:30pm in conjunction with the APWCA2009 National Clinical Conference. Registration for the certification exam can be found online atwww.CouncilMET.org. Call (215) 364-4100 if you have additional questions.

The ACHM Executive Committee held a meeting on Thursday, December 4, 2008 via conference call. The highlights of this discussion were ideas to increase resources available to ACHM members. These ideas included monthly video updates, links to industry articles and abstracts, and clinical guidelines and protocols. The complete set of minutes can be viewed on our website. Your feedback and input are always welcome! Please contactAngela Kujath with your ideas.
Attaining the designation of Fellow of the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine, or FACHM, is an important professional achievement. FACHM recognizes professional contributions to the ACHM, highlights commitment to the specialty of hyperbaric medicine and demonstrates dedication to the appropriate utilization of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Many ACHM members are internationally renowned experts in wound care and hyperbaric medicine who proudly use the prestigious FACHM designation. The distinction of FACHM or Fellow of the American College of Hyperbaric Medicine cannot be purchased; rather it is awarded only after one satisfies specific criteria.

The American College of Hyperbaric Medicine Radiation Research Registry, established to collect statistical information on radiation related injuries treated with HBOT, continues to grow in case/data entry. The registry was initiated in response to a determination by national insurance providers that HBOT for radiation necrosis should be categorized at "experimental-investigational." The information from the study will be used in our effort to advocate for reconsideration and reversal of this determination. The registry now exceeds 1500 cases and is the largest hyperbaric registry in the world. The data collection timeline has been expanded to include cases from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2008. As of 1/15/2009 we were at 1512 cases. We need your help to push us over the top as our goal is 2,000 cases to complete the study. If you have already entered data, we thank you. Consider calling your colleagues to encourage additional participation. If you have not registered and participated, please do so. An interim review of the outcomes of patients enrolled in the RRR very favorably supports the utilization of HBOT for this group of patients. A pdf version of this review is available on line. Visit our website for more information.

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP, pronounced "H-Cup") is a family of health care databases and related software tools and products developed through a Federal-State-Industry partnership and sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). HCUP databases bring together the data collection efforts of State data organizations, hospital associations, private data organizations, and the Federal government to create a national information resource of patient-level health care data (HCUP Partners). HCUP includes the largest collection of longitudinal hospital care data in the United States, with all-payer, encounter-level information beginning in 1988. These databases enable research on a broad range of health policy issues, including cost and quality of health services, medical practice patterns, access to health care programs, and outcomes of treatments at the national, State, and local market levels.
HCUP's objectives are to:
· Create and enhance a powerful source of national, state, and all-payer health care data.
· Produce a broad set of software tools and products to facilitate the use of HCUP and other administrative data.
· Enrich a collaborative partnership with statewide data organizations aimed at increasing the quality and use of health care data.
· Conduct and translate research to inform decision making and improve health care delivery. Data Released on Hospitalizations Related to Pressure UlcersA Statistical Brief from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality presents data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project on patterns of utilization and costs for adult hospital stays involving the treatment of pressure ulcers in 2006.
All ACHM members need to know about this entity. The implications of HCUP on the future practice of HBOT demand consideration. The recent CMS changes in hospital reimbursement for nosocomial pressure ulcers was likely motivated and influenced by the data generated by HCUP. Please review the following to better understand HCUP.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing..... (Music CD)
Shipping Destinations for this item
Sorry, this product is currently unavailable.
Though the sleeve notes of DJ Shadow's exhilarating long-playing debut speak
of his devotion to "vinyl culture" and "sample-based music"
(a guide of which is contained within), it's all just double-speak for hip-hop.
Undoubtedly, this is the musical culture that lit up the life of young Cali-boy
Josh Davis, inspiring him to construct these vocal-less, found-sound collages.
Not the hip-hop that a dime-a-dozen MCs have turned into a cartoonish,
excess-filled formula, but the hip-hop of such sonic anarchist producers as
Afrika Bambaataaand The Bomb Squad. To put it mildly, DJ Shadow sides with the
dope beats, not the bland blah-blah-blah.
Shadow's skills with a drum machine power ENDTRODUCING... as much as his innovative def-ness with a sampler--which says a lot for someone who's been called the Jimi Hendrix of sampling. The songs shift tempos in a blink, incorporating multiple time-signatures, and it's to Shadow's credit that he's as comfortable hinting at Elvin Jones' or Dave Grohl's rhythmic attacks as he is citing old faithfuls like Clyde Stubblefield. His wide array of samples colour the album's beat-heavy text. Ethereal horns, ambient keyboards, orchestral strings, vocoder vocals, whole film scenes--each is made a part of the sweeping focus, part of a grand post-modern design.

Brooklyn, New York (PRWEB) January 08, 2014
While it may be seemingly anachronistic to use a mechanical device to control one's camera in an age where smart phone apps can control everything from shutter release to aperture size etc, the PhotoOp is a US Patented product that works with nearly all slim point-and-shoot cameras and allows both kids and adults alike to have fun with photography while being able to take pictures at angles and heights previously unattainable. Most point-and-shoot cameras don't have a remote option, so the PhotoOp serves as a necessary tool for the amateur or serious photographer.
Product Developer Jeff Goldberg came up with the idea with his brother after he kept failing to take good pictures at spectator events. "Photographers struggle to take photos at events with crowds. The PhotoOp gets you the shot above the crowd."
Designed to fit on standard monopods, a point-and-shoot camera fits onto the device (which goes onto the monopod) which is then hoisted above a crowd. A photographer has an optional periscopic guide via which to line up a subject. Pulling on a cord, depresses the shutter mechanism precisely when the photographer wants to take the picture, leaving very little up to chance or up to a timer.
Made of sturdy aluminum construction, the PhotoOp is now seeking funding on Kickstarter.com for its first production run. http://Bit.ly/take-my-pic
If you would like more information on this topic or to schedule an interview, please reach Jeff Goldberg at 270-283-9863 or by emailing jeffreymitchell.llc(at)gmail(dot)com.

Reprinted from The Hill by Tim Devaney on March 30, 2017.
President Trump's Plan B on labor cleared a key Senate hurdle Thursday.
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee voted 12-11 along party lines to send Labor secretary nominee Alexander Acosta to the floor for final approval.
Trump picked Acosta after his first choice, restaurant executive Andrew Puzder, withdrew himself from consideration in February amid questions about how his restaurant chains treated workers, why he had for years employed an undocumented immigrant as a housekeeper and accusations from his ex-wife that he physically abused her.
Acosta, a former member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), is seen as an easier sell because he has experience in the field and has been confirmed by the Senate on three separate occasions. …
